I made jalapeño poppers today. Burnt the crap out of my fingers and mouth from touching the jalapeños and eating them. Then I remembered, I'm breastfeeding! I'm afraid if I feed her now, she'll get all fussy because she picks up the spicy from me.
Think I should just feed her a bottle this feeding and pump and dump the milk? Or should I not worry about it?

I love spicy food. Luckily my LO never had a problem with me eating it.

@chopsuey119: I was just wondering if that had anything to do with it. I CRAVED hot spicy food while I was pregnant, I wouldn't feel full unless I had hot sauce with a meal. Wonder if that's why baby's OK with spice.

@chopsuey119: I did eat spicy while pregnant. I love doubling up on the spicy in my Thai food. 
think that helps train the baby to be OK with spicy foods?

@Maysprout: @mediagirl: I think eating spicy while pregnant really does train baby to be okay with spice in breast milk.. this is just from my experience and from what I've heard from other moms though.
